The Train of Love chugs us along to the end of the line. By which we mean, series one of Chat out of Hell. But there's a few more questions to answer first. Questions like:

Who knew Meat Loaf was so big into Indiana Jones fan fiction?

What do Meat Loaf and Johnny Cash not have in common?

Which major stage show based on music by Jim Steinman is touring the UK in 2025, and how excited does this make Emma?

CooH is taking a short break after this ep but will be back on the 12th August, giving a whole episode to I'd Do Anything For Love. Perhaps we'll do a little cheeky bonus something in the meantime. While you're waiting, why not tell a friend about us?

Meat Loaf's sexiest song makes it to the table. Join Sam and Emma as they delive into Paradise by the Dashboard Light then Nowhere Fast, and have a stab at the real questions in life :

Which is sexier, a woman on a motorbike or a girl band?

What's the best lascivious sound you can make?

What IS a huckleberry?

Next time: We'll wind up series on in style with Loaf/Steinman's last song Train of Love and watch the dumbest music video Meat Loaf has ever made, with I'd Lie For You (And That's The Truth)

In the wake of Brighton Fringe we needed some slammin' music to stir us from our lethargy. And this episode provided it in spades. It's All Coming Back to Me Now and Modern Girl gave us all sorts of nonsense to chew over:

Three different versions of one bangin' power ballad? Got it.

Two music videos about ghosts and one about filth? Sorted.

A visit with Captain Kirk to the planet where the only surviving adult is Meat Loaf? Regrettably that too.

Next time: Emma sticks with her copy of Bad Attitude as she invites us to listen to Nowhere Fast, while Sam sticks with the classics and treats everyone to a Paradise By the Dashboard Light.
